Parks and Park Facilities Bonds
Fairfax County · Referendum 30
open
What it doesShall Fairfax County, Virginia, contract a debt, borrow money, and issue bonds, in addition to the parks and park facilities bonds previously authorized, in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $180,000,000 for the purpose of providing funds, with any other available funds, to finance, including reimbursement to the County for temporary financing for, the Fairfax County Park Authority's cost to acquire, construct, develop, and equip additional parks and park facilities, to preserve open-space land, and to develop and improve existing parks and park facilities?
Source: Virginia Department of Elections
What changesThis referendum asks voters whether Fairfax County should be authorized to contract a debt and issue bonds in the maximum principal amount of $180,000,000 for improvement of existing parks owned and operated by Fairfax County Park Authority, for additional parks and recreational facilities, and for preservation of open space across the county. The County’s current plans for the proceeds of bonds that may be authorized by this referendum are described below. These specific plans may be altered, but in any case, the bonds can only be issued for purposes described in the ballot question. Virginia law permits the County government to borrow money to buy land and construct projects by issuing general obligation bonds, which are sold to investors and repaid over time with County revenues. Money received from the sale of bonds provides funding for many County facilities. Bond financing permits the costs of those County facilities to be repaid over a period of years. However, before the County may incur a general obligation debt, a majority of the County voters must authorize the County to borrow those funds. The County currently plans to use $180,000,000 of bonds from this referendum for Fairfax County Park Authority system improvements and facilities.

What changesThis referendum asks voters whether Fairfax County should be authorized to contract a debt and issue bonds in the maximum principal amount of $75,000,000 for community health and human services facilities. The County’s current plans for the proceeds of bonds that may be authorized by this referendum are set forth below. These specific plans may be altered, but in any case, the bonds can only be issued for purposes described in the ballot question. Virginia law permits the County government to borrow money to buy land, purchase capital equipment, and construct or improve facilities by issuing general obligation bonds, which are sold to investors and repaid over time with County revenues.

However, before the County may incur a general obligation debt, a majority of the County voters must authorize the County to borrow those funds. The County currently plans to use $35,000,000 in bonds to renovate or replace the Joanne Jorgenson Public Health Laboratory, located in the former Belle Willard School building. The current 11,800squarefoot facility includes Biosafety Level 2 and Level 3 laboratories.

Constitutional amendments

3 questions, each in the Department of Elections' own words: the question and the explanation for voters.

1
Constitutional Amendment Question 1
Commonwealth of Virginia · Question 1
open
What it doesQuestion: Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to (i) protect the freedom to make personal decisions about prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, birth control, abortion, miscarriage management, and fertility care; (ii) protect doctors, nurses, and patients from being punished for these decisions; and (iii) allow for restrictions on access to abortion during the third trimester of pregnancy except when the patient's health is at risk or the pregnancy cannot survive?
Source: Virginia Department of Elections
What changesPresent Law Currently, the Virginia Constitution does not explicitly provide to its citizens a right to reproductive freedom nor does it explicitly protect or prohibit certain kinds of health care procedures or decisions. Proposed Law The proposed amendment would add to the Virginia Constitution's Bill of Rights the fundamental right to make and carry out decisions about a person's own reproductive care with only certain, specific exceptions. The proposed amendment specifically allows the state government to pass laws to regulate abortion care in the third trimester of pregnancy, but requires any such law to allow for abortion care when it is medically needed to protect the life and health of the pregnant person or because the fetus is not viable.

Constitutional Amendment Question 2
Commonwealth of Virginia · Question 2
open
What it doesQuestion: Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to (i) remove the ban on same-sex marriage; (ii) affirm that two adults may marry regardless of sex, gender, or race; and (iii) require all legally valid marriages to be treated equally under the law?
Source: Virginia Department of Elections
What changesPresent Law Marriages, civil unions, and other legal relationships with the same rights, benefits, and effects of marriage between persons of the same sex or gender are prohibited under Virginia's Constitution. This prohibition is no longer enforceable as a result of the United States Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015, but the prohibition on marriages between persons of the same sex or gender remains in the state's Constitution. If the Supreme Court were to overturn its previous decision, that prohibition would be enforceable again. Proposed Law The proposed amendment removes the prohibition on marriages between persons of the same sex or gender from the Virginia Constitution's Bill of Rights. It is replaced with the fundamental right to marry, requiring the state to recognize and treat equally under the law any lawful marriage between two adult persons, regardless of the sex, gender, or race of either person. The proposed amendment prohibits the state from denying a marriage license to two adult persons because of their sex, gender, or race.

Constitutional Amendment Question 3
Commonwealth of Virginia · Question 3
open
What it doesQuestion: Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended (i) to provide for the fundamental right to vote in the Commonwealth, (ii) to revise the qualifications of voters so that a person convicted of a felony is not entitled to vote during his period of incarceration but is automatically invested with the right to vote upon release from incarceration, and (iii) to update the existing prohibition on voting by persons found to be mentally incompetent to instead apply to persons who have been found to lack the capacity to understand the act of voting?
Source: Virginia Department of Elections
What changesPresent Law Virginia's Constitution currently provides that a person who is convicted of any felony loses the right to vote for the rest of their life unless the Governor of Virginia takes administrative action to restore that specific person's right to vote. This is the only means of getting back the right to vote after a felony conviction. The current constitutional provision also imposes a broad restriction, while using outdated terminology, on voting by persons found to be incapacitated. A person who is determined by a court to be incapacitated, regardless of the kind of incapacity, loses the right to vote, and only a court can restore the person's right to vote later. Proposed Law The proposed amendment enshrines in the Constitution the fundamental right of all qualified persons in the Commonwealth to vote. Two exceptions to this right are for persons who are serving a sentence of incarceration for a felony conviction and persons who are determined by a court to not understand the act of voting. Such right cannot otherwise be restricted by laws. Under the proposed amendment, a person who is convicted of a felony loses the right to vote during their period of incarceration.
